Hello and welcome to RailwayReview.co.uk – a growing collection of user reviews for railway models.

In order for the site to become a useful resource for all railway modellers, please get involved and submit short reviews and photos of any locos or controllers you’ve had in your possession. This way, before you make a purchase, people will be able to read others’ experience of that product, and pick up any maintenance tips.

To help generate submissions and get the ball rolling, I’m offering a prize of £50 for one winner, drawn from the first 200 reviews to the site. Likewise, a prize of £100 will be drawn from the first 500 reviews. If you submit a review in more than one category, you’ll receive that number of entries - your chances are therefore improved by submitting reviews in different categories.

The site is based on the user review principles of HarmonyCentral.com - a fantastic resource for all musical equipment, with real-life testimonies of people who have used and abused their equipment. I've used this many times for guitar amps and pedals, and thought it might be useful for models as well!

Any help you can give in contributing to the growth of this database is much appreciated, even just 1 review of your favourite (or least favourite!) model. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy reading and contributing to RailwayReview.co.uk.
